Eat Pray Love (previously "The Virtues of Life") is a 2010 comedy-drama film starring Julia Roberts as Elizabeth Gilbert, based on Gilbert's best-selling memoir of the same name. The film was co-written and directed by Ryan Murphy. It opened in the U.S. on August 13, 2010. Elizabeth Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali. Eat Pray Love began principal photography in August 2009. Filming locations include New York City (United States), Rome and Naples (Italy), Delhi and Pataudi (India), Ubud and Padang-Padang Beach at Bali (Indonesia).

While I have seen some chick-flicks more convoluted and unrealistic than this, this one is still pretty darn convoluted.
The absolute lack of morals in regard to premarital sex is appalling in this as it is in most Hollywood movies like this. In fact the only times she turns down sex is because of some kind of psychological issues she's having. One of these times includes full view of the rear end of some guy.
On top of this the movie just drags on in parts. I kept wondering when it would just move on in places. It is just too looooooong. Unless you're really into chick-flicks and could care less about the portrayal of zero morals in regard to sex, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Its a very forgettable movie besides.
